Steal a Segway and ...

So, what exactly do you do with a stolen Segway? Not much, it seems:

The burglars who wheeled 10 Segways away from a Concord [N.H.] truck dealership in April apparently couldn't figure out what to do with them. Concord police officers found all the motorized scooters stowed in a garage in Manchester last week, collecting dust and in perfect condition.

"Right from the beginning, we questioned how they would move these things around," said Concord Detective Todd Flanagan. "It seemed like it would be difficult for them to get rid of them. And that seems to be what happened." ...

"I think the burglary was very well thought-out," Flanagan said. "I think what wasn't thought out was how they were going to profit from this. It's sort of comical, actually."

Did they even have the keys to these things? If not, they just stole ten paperweights.
